REPORTS.
From the Superintendent
ST.. PAUL, MIMI, Sept. 5, 1887.
To the Honorable Board of Education of
the City of st. Paul:
GENTLEMEN: have the honor here
with to present my first report for the
present school year, and also that of the
opening day of the first term of 1887.
1t has not been possible to obtain the
accurate number of pupils enrolled in
the various schools of the city to-day,
but only closely to approximate to the
correct number. From the reports of
the different schools the number of pu-
pills enrolled to-day was a little more
than 5000, an increase of nearly 1000
over that of last year for the opening
day. Taking in consideration the fact
that many of our citizens have not yet
returned from the summer resorts,
consider the attendance large.
None of the new buildings are yet
occupied, neither are either of the addi-
tiOnS completed. Several of the school
buildings are already tllled to overflow
ing, and very soon extra rooms Will be
needed to accommodate the pupils of
these divisions, or they will be obliged
to be sent to less crowded schools.
The question of boundary lines be-
tween some of the school districts, nOta-
bly, those between the Franklin and the
Rice schools, and those between the
Jefferson and Madison schools, demand,
i think, the attention of the proper COM
mittee. Perhaps the boundary between
the Jefferson and the Monroe schools
might be readjuSted with considerable
advantage. In any case, think it will
be wise to consider the matter. In this
connection it might be wise to consider
the boundary between the Madison and
mediate attention from the proper COM
mittee. Respectfully submitted,
S. S. TAYLOR.
Received, and so much as refers to
change of separate district boundaries
referred to Committee on Schools for
consideration and report.
From the Committee on Finance
Reporting the sale of the balance of
the school bonds to the amount of S125,-
600 at par and accrued interest.
Accepted.
From the Committee on German
ST. PAUL, Mimi. Sept. 5, 1887.
To the Board of Education:
Your Committee on German beg to
report the appointment of Mr.. F. l..
Reese as teacher of German, subject
to satisfactory completion of an eX-
animation as required by the rules. In
this connection and in consideration of
the good services rendered by this APP
pOintee in former years for this Board,
we would ask that he be permitted to
take the higher or second examination
prescribed by the rules. We have also
appointed Miss Marie Goes as teacher
nf{ 10 lNo, o. 1olf
